3634-3020-3010 have joined the "broken" line in Binghamton.3012 was at the shop in Binghamton on Friday but unsure if it wasready for service.

3634 was thru the AMP program last winter and then broke downcausing several months of down time in Utica. It's my understandingthat it died Wednesday on the local. Ailment unknown. 3010 died onthe SU-99 Wednesday night, crankcase overpressure. 3020 died on thesame trip on the Tier Thursday morning (electrical fire maybe?).Both 3010 and 3020 were set out of the consist Thursday night @Binghamton.

At Utica is the 3042 and 2300, in addition to UT-1's 2304.RMDI has 3 B23-7's there, 1 is allegedly getting fixed for return tothe P&W, the other 2 are for the Finger Lakes.

There is no new work slated for Utica.After the hospital train went to Syracuse, the passenger car went toFranklin, and recently several parts and axle trucks were truckedout. Money may be budgeted for work to the 3042.

3012 and 2302 were delivered to Canadian Pacific's East BinghamtonYard on 8/19 for work (work unknown).

I know I'm getting old... My insurance company sent me only half a calendar this year!
